Welcome to Calvary

July 6, 2014Fourth Sunday After Pentecost

“For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, 'He has a demon.’ The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Look, a glutton and a winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' But wisdom is justified by her children.”

Matthew 11:18-19

Who said to Jesus in the synagogue in Capernaum, “I know who you are – the Holy One of God!”

Bible Quiz

Hint: The answer can be found in the book of Luke. There are Bibles in the pew racks

Write your answer and your name on a piece of paper and drop it in the Bible Quiz box in the rear of the sanctuary. A winner will be drawn each week from all the correct answers submitted. The previous week’s winner’s name will appear on a slide each week, and who knows, you might even get a surprise!

an unclean spirit, a demon, Luke 4:33-34

Season of Thanks

During the season of Pentecost, Calvary will be giving thanks for its past; its present; its future. We will be thanking groups and individuals and most of all God for the blessings bestowed on Calvary Evangelical Lutheran Church. We are calling this a Season of Thanks!

During this Season of Thanks each of us, daily, need to remember things and people for which and whom we are thankful. Even on those days when everything seems to be falling apart… we can be thankful that God is there to catch us and protect us …. just like God always does!

Reminder – Don’t Forget Your Name Tag

Not everyone remembers your name. We encourage everyone to wear their name tags. It helps not only

our visitors, but all of us to put a name to a face.

StewardshipWhat God has entrusted to our care

Next, we look in to discover all of the resources that God has entrusted to our care. God loved us so much that God gave each of us varying talents, time, money, and stuff. We each have resources that we can use to love God and our neighbor. We need only to look in to discover the abundance thatGod has entrusted to us. God has given each of us talents and time. As Peter writes, “Like good stewards of the manifold grace of God, serve one another with whatever gift each of you has received” (1 Peter 4:10). We each have unique gifts and talents that we can use. God has also blessed us with time. We lead very busy lives, but we seldom reflect on how we are using this time. How might God be calling us, both as individuals and as a congregation, to use our time and our unique gifts to love God and our neighbors?
